Brazilian striker Maicon dies in car crash

DONETSK – Brazilian striker Maicon
Pereira, currently playing on loan at
Ukrainian league side Mariupol, has died
in a car crash, local media reported on
Saturday.

The R-Sport news agency reported that
Maicon, who joined Ukraine champions
Shakhtar Donetsk in 2012, died in an
accident, which happened in Donetsk
early on Saturday.

“It’s a terrible and heavy loss for all of us.
He will remain a man of blessed memory
for all of us,” Shakhtar said in a statement
on the club’s official website.

Maicon joined Shakhtar in 2012 in a
transfer move from Volyn Lutsk but failed
to win a place in the starting lineup.

He subsequently went out on loan to
Zorya Lugansk and Mariupol, with whom
he played 13 matches and scored three
goals this season.
